Gavin Clegg, League coordinator:

In the Open; Peter Suba by dint of his fastest mins per k in Brighton is up 2 places to 3rd and could well challenge Alan and Dan for the title. Tereza is up 2 to 6th chasing Becca in 4th. Both have been to all the races so far. Rob Hick had a great run in Brighton and is up 7 to 9th.

In the Handicap; Charlotte still leads with Tereza in 2nd having swapped places with Mike Frizzell who frustratingly missed a control in the butterflies at Brighton. Mike is another who has run all races so far. However I think the real challengers to Charlotte are the heavy hitters who have only been to four or so events so far and are languishing at present in the teens – namely Mary Nixon, Robin Smith, Carolyn Dent, Ian Sayer and Chris Branford – we shall see.

Since the main adult courses do not use The Lanes this year, SO have decided to put on a short course in this iconic area that can be attempted after your main run. It starts and finishes adjacent to the School. This extra course will use the same 1:2500 A4 map as the Junior courses. There is no pre-entry for this course but to ensure that SO have enough maps if you would like to run this course please complete the Doodle poll at: https://doodle.com/poll/tnrgacbu47wpy9en
